everyone in power cares.

Children shot to death at school? Just another day in 'Murika.

So, the difference is that a CEO (probably an MBA too) was someone who we're supposed to cherish as an icon of "American exceptionalism". Non rich people (including our children) are the price the moneyed class are willing to pay for their lifestyle.

NOTE: I am extremely pessimistic these days. I don't see how our country survives this as a Democracy. We're headed to dictatorship and there seems to be no way to stop it. So, take my words with that lens in mind.
